You feel free to pay for all the abortions you want. Leave my money out of it.

I love how the Feminazis spin that to make it sound like Vitters is being unreasonable.

While your issue with this is that your tax money is being spent on these abortion I assure that this is a religious issue for the majority of conservatives.

You'd probably be wrong. I am a conservative Republican, for the most part. I know many other conservative Republicans who couldn't care less if dumb women want to abort their inconvenient spawn. But it's rare that anyone wants to pay for it.

Again, you feel free to spend your money that way if you like.

I think they should put out the federal budget and let us decide what we want to kick in for. If some hippie wants to allocate their share to save the whales and doesn't want to give a dime to the military, let 'em have at it. And if people like me will happily fund the military and could give a crap about the whales, we should have that choice.

On that point... I would agree...

On the abortion issue... At least in case of this bill... It is an attempt to legislatively over turn Roe V Wade.. btw... Federal funding to provide abortions is already not authorized by previous amendment or act this is a just in case amendment.

They don't want to be accountable they just want everyone to live by there gods rule..

I don't know what your beef is with religion, but I believe it's clouding your thinking. It's not a religious issue, it's a moral issue. Even atheists have morals, maybe guided by different thought processes or origins, but still valid and their morals are in agreement with the general society.

That out of the way, adoptions of foreign children are wayyyyy up. But why? In this country, liberal thinking has it one can't adopt a child not of one's race. Absurd thought, but that's fine it that's what they want to believe. There are plenty of children in the world that could use a loving home.

I just don't believe abortion should be a form of birth control. And unfortunately, there's a belief that abortion should be paid by taxpayers on demand for folks who don't hold the same values as the majority of society.

You actually got it wrong... Morally, I am personally against abortion.. but I am also personally against anyone who would force their belief system or moral system on others through legal means.

I have told my daughter that if she ever considered abortion that i would not want her to do it and if she was pregnant and decided to have the child rather than have an abortion I would support her and my grandchild. But I would not ask the courts to make my feelings on this LAW!

Wow. I'm a firm believer in choice. If you feel you can't handle the responsibility of having a kid and you somehow manage to get pregnant...you should have that option to have an abortion...ON YOUR OWN dime.

I do not want to pay for all of the stupid young ladies (or anyone for that matter) getting pregnant and not understanding how...after having unprotected sex with different men each week.

Who is doing that? All that's being blocked is federal funding, i.e. our tax dollars.

I don't want to pay for the abortion either but we either pay now or pay later via welfare and social services. That is the way I see it.

The truth or basis behind this bill was not an attempt to save the taxpayers money. It was an attempt to make a rule of law through the legislature.

Glad you have ESP and can divine these things. I, personally, prefer to go with what the bill actually says.
